Chaotic Sword God

Chapter 3818: Mystifying Kindness

Jian Chen was startled inside. He had already realised that he probably needed to be an Immortal Exalt at the very least to hide his lies before the Illusionary Ancestor and prevent her from discerning the truth.

That made his caution rise to the limit. He did not dare to speak so easily anymore.

On the other side, the Master of Profound Secrets, the Jade Lotus Immortal Exalt, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt all sneered inside. He was basically asking to die by lying in front of the Illusionary Ancestor.

In their minds, they could already imagine how severe the consequences would be once the Illusionary Ancestor lost her temper. Even the Warring Old Freak might be drawn into the matter.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Illusionary Ancestor did not lose her temper as they had imagined. Instead, she smiled gently and said, “Little brother, I’ve suddenly become very interested in your true identity. Is it convenient for you to tell me?”

The Illusionary Ancestor’s attitude immediately left the Immortal Exalts stunned. At that moment, they basically doubted whether the person right before them was the rumoured Illusionary Ancestor.

The Warring Old Freak’s eyes flickered with doubt. For a moment, he was uncertain about what the Illusionary Ancestor was after.

Jian Chen was troubled as well. He was unable to understand why an expert like the Illusionary Ancestor would take an interest in him, leaving him at a momentary loss.

After a moment of hesitation, Jian Chen clasped his fist towards the Illusionary Ancestor and said, “Senior Illusionary Ancestor, could you tell me who you are?”

The Warring Old Freak’s expression immediately changed. He barked at Jian Chen, “Yang Yutian, show some respect. Do you think the Illusionary Ancestor’s identity is something that you can ask about? Hurry up and apologise to the Illusionary Ancestor.”

The Warring Old Freak’s reaction made Jian Chen’s heart sink. He had already realised that the origins of the Illusionary Ancestor before him were probably even more terrifying and astonishing than he had imagined. After all, it could make the greatest expert of the Hall Brilliance Heaven, the Warring Old Freak, so fearful.

“It’s not a problem. Since you want to know my identity, it’s fine if I tell you.” The Illusionary Ancestor still did not lose her temper, smiling gently and pleasantly. It also made Jian Chen develop a strange sense of closeness in the depths of his heart.

“My name is Daowei Huanru. I come from the Waymight clan. As of right now, I am the second ancestor of the Waymight clan. People call me the Illusionary Ancestor!” The woman in black smiled gently.

The Master of Profound Secrets, the Jade Lotus Immortal Exalt, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt all exchanged glances. Their eyes were filled with shock and astoundment.

The Illusionary Ancestor was a supreme expert who had made a name for herself a long time ago. Very few people in the Immortals’ World knew her true name. In fact, not a lot of people possessed the right to know her true name.

Even they, Fourth and Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalts, only knew her by her title, the Illusionary Ancestor. They did not know her by Daowei Huanru.

Yet at this moment, the Illusionary Ancestor divulged her true name to a junior who was a measly Immortal Emperor. No one would believe this news if it made it out.

Jian Chen was shocked. Daowei Huanru? The second ancestor of the Waymight clan?

His heart immediately sank.

To the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens, the Waymight clan was not kind folk.

“Please forgive me, senior. It is still inconvenient for me to disclose my identity to you right now, senior. However, there will be a day when you know, senior,” Jian Chen said reluctantly. He never imagined that he would actually encounter the second ancestor of the Waymight clan here.

Moreover, she had even been invited by the Master of Profound Secrets.

And yet, lying happened to be impossible before the Illusionary Ancestor. All lies would be seen through.

The Illusionary Ancestor’s face hardened as if she did not expect a reply like this after stating her esteemed identity.

The Warring Old Freak, the Master of Illusionary Secrets, and everyone else held their breaths. They all believed that Jian Chen had made a huge mistake.

After all, the person before him was the second ancestor of the Waymight clan. For someone so significant to be treated with such disrespect by an Immortal Emperor junior, it was an unforgivable crime.

Right when the Warring Old Freak contemplated on how to handle this, the Illusionary Ancestor suddenly laughed gently. “Little guy, looks like you’re quite suspicious of me. Whatever. Since this makes things difficult for you, I won’t make things difficult for you.”

The Illusionary Ancestor opened her hand. Immediately, a simple talisman appeared out of thin air before drifting over to Jian Chen.

Jian Chen looked at the talisman; his eyes suddenly narrowed. From the talisman, he could sense a terrifying force that could be described as devastating.

It was not just him. When the Warring Old Freak noticed the talisman, his expression changed drastically. He became unprecedentedly stern.

“This talisman is refined from the power of my primary body. Once activated, it will instantly erupt with the force of a strike from my primary body. It is so powerful that even the Warring Old Freak beside you cannot receive it. Even if he survives, he’ll be left with half a life.”

“Right now, I am giving this talisman to you. With it around, even if you don’t use it, it will serve as a great deterrence and help you resolve many problems.” The Illusionary Ancestor looked at Jian Chen as if she wanted to see through him completely.

“Illusionary Ancestor, a-a-are you gifting this talisman to him?” The Warring Old Freak was stunned. Actually, when Jian Chen refused to divulge his identity to the Illusionary Ancestor, the Warring Old Freak was already prepared to deal with all of the consequences.

In the end, the consequences never arrived. Instead, the Illusionary Ancestor gave him such a precious talisman. Even the Warring Old Freak struggled to adjust to this turn of events.

Nearby, the Master of Profound Secrets, the Jade Lotus Immortal Exalt, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt were all stunned.

The Illusionary Ancestor’s attitude today was truly mystifying. She was completely different from normal.

But shortly afterwards, they all looked at the talisman floating before Jian Chen. Their eyes burned with undisguised desire.

This talisman contained the power of a strike from the Illusionary Ancestor’s main body; it could easily heavily injure an expert like the Warring Old Freak. They knew exactly how startling its value was.

If the talisman ended up in their hands, it would truly be a supreme treasure that could protect an entire peak sect.

At this moment, the Illusionary Ancestor was giving such a precious talisman to an Immortal Emperor junior she had never met before, which made these peak experts turn green with envy.

“Senior, this item is far too precious. I’m afraid I can’t take it.” However, Jian Chen did not have the courage to take it. Perhaps to others, the Illusionary Ancestor’s talisman was a life-preserving measure, but in Jian Chen’s hand, it was no different from a hot potato. He did not want much contact with it.

“You refuse to tell me your identity, and you even tried lying to me with a fake name. I can ignore all of that, but if you don’t accept my talisman, then I’m really going to lose my temper.”

“If I lose my temper, the consequences are very severe. Even the Warring Old Freak won’t be able to get out of this, even if this is just my secondary body.”

The Illusionary Ancestor’s smile gradually vanished. Her gaze sharpened like she was about to be angered.

“Yang Yutian, a gift from the Illusionary Ancestor is a treasure that leaves me utterly envious. To you, it’s an impressive fortune. What are you waiting for? Thank the Illusionary Ancestor!” The Warring Old Freak urged Jian Chen on the side.

The Illusionary Ancestor had already said that. Jian Chen knew that even if the talisman was a source of trouble, he had to accept it.

He did not dilly-dally. He carefully caught the talisman that drifted over to him with both hands.

When the talisman entered his hands, he gained an even deeper appreciation for just how vast the power inside was.

The power was so great that it gave him chills.

Even if the Divine Formation of the Heavens operated at full strength right now, its might came nowhere close to the power inside the talisman.

“This item can threaten late Immortal Exalts!” Jian Chen was stern. He was not a fool. He understood just how startlingly precious the talisman was.

“That’s more like it.” The Illusionary Ancestor smiled warmly again as if only then did she feel a little better.

Afterwards, the Illusionary Ancestor arrived before the Master of Profound Secrets. Her smile and gentleness had already vanished. She became indifferent and said flatly, “Master of Profound Secrets, how are your preparations going?”

“Illusionary Ancestor, I’ve already made all the preparations on my end. I’m just waiting for you to take action and suppress this Starflame Demon Lion,” the Master of Profound Secrets said politely, but he felt very perplexed. He struggled to understand what was so special about Jian Chen. Why did the Illusionary Ancestor treat him so differently from how she treated him?

“Are you certain that the Starflame Demon Lion possesses important materials for refining the ancient pill?” The Illusionary Ancestor stared at the Master of Profound Secrets like she was judging him.

“Don’t worry, Illusionary Ancestor. After numerous revisions and much research, I’m certain that as long as I collect the essence of the Starflame Demon Lion’s five organs and its soul essence, I’ll be able to refine the ancient pill successfully. Moreover, to ensure that this ends in complete success, I’ve invited several fellows to assist me,” the Master of Profound Secrets said politely. At the same time, he introduced the Jade Lotus Immortal Exalt, the Rushing Lightning Immortal Exalt, the Blood Butcher Immortal Exalt, and the Ancient Virtue Immortal Exalt beside him.
